OS X has always had its own window management protocols, different from full-screen alt-tab but arguably just as good. In Leopard it was all-windows-Expose, activated via mouse flicks to the screen hotcorners. It was great, really natural. Unfortunately they crippled the feature in Snow Leapard (grid based rather than spatial layout) and did away with it entirely in Lion in favor of Mission Control.

I am pretty sure you misunderstood grandparent's question.

What?! Exposé is still there. It’s just not called Exposé.

  It's really not still there though. Mission Control always groups by app. No way to get an immediate spread of all open windows. Instead you have to explore the bundles of windows grouped by app.

    I didn’t have to do that until now. I could always tell the windows apart.

      Er, so you agree? Want the "all windows" mode back?
      - ugh 15y ago
        Er, no. Until now I seem to prefer having the windows grouped together. Until now I never encountered a situation where I had to spread apart the groups. I guess it depends on how you use the Mac.
